Should be possible to bypass ALL view settings, and exit without calling
vcloseterm, vcloseform, etc.

Just send the escape codes for character mode, non-format mode, home-down,
etc.  Then stop run.  The quit-on-fatal error routines in all our view
screens have been doing this for 20 years.  No guarantees on how smoothly it
works if you aren't really exiting....

codes listed, don't you") Powell
